"Working with Zahra was a very professional experience. In addition to implementing the ideas that I had on this project, she also brought some of her own experiences. I had a tight deadline that she was able to hit for the first draft, but follow-up revisions were slower. But to her credit, she was on vacation with her family while working on this project, so I appreciate her commitment to being as timely as possible. Based on the overall experience I would absolutely work with her again. She has the experience, knowledge, and skill set that will lead to successful projects for her clients."

Testimonials

Endorsements from past clients

"In an effort to better understand our company valuation and intelligently defend it while going out for a second round of seed capital, we hired Zahra to help us build a pro forma financial model based upon both current revenues and expenses and our business plan for growth. She added a DCF analysis of current value and a 5yr investor total ROE for both sale and no-sale scenarios at the end of year 5. Zahra is very experienced at this and not only understood our needs well, but delivered excellent models with fully adjustable inputs for us to be able to massage and continue to use in the future. She's great to work with and we highly recommend her!"
